Abstract

It is believed that quantum computing will begin to have an impact around year 2010. Much work is done on physical realization and synthesis of quantum circuits, but nothing so far on the problem of generating tests and localization of faults for such circuits. Even fault models for quantum circuits have been not formulated yet. We propose an approach to test generation for a wide category of fault models of single and multiple faults. It uses deterministic and probabilistic tests to detect faults. A Fault Table is created that includes probabilistic information. If possible, deterministic tests are first selected, while covering faults with tests, in order to shorten the total length of the test sequence. The method is applicable to both binary and ternary quantum circuits. The system generates test sequences and adaptive trees for fault localization for small binary and ternary quantum circuits.
